The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which focuses on constitutional law, said a proposal by the Obama Administration to monitor newsrooms across the country is extremely dangerous and amounts to an unprecedented assault of the First Amendment and the freedom of the press.

The computer scientists show their system at the computer expo Cebit from the 10th until the 14th of March in Hanover (hall 9, booth E13).
